Chapter 589: Subtle Changes



As the headquarters or information center of the human expeditionary force stationed in another world, it has been looking for a suitable long-term stationing point, so it often moves camp and relocates as the front line advances and troops are mobilized.

The location of Sanfeng Mountain this time is indeed good and hidden enough. As the chief executive, Baru can naturally decide to stay here for a long time. This also makes the service personnel breathe a sigh of relief. The frequency of relocation was too high before, and they had little time to rest.

The selection of a long-term stationing point also ensures the efficiency of some information processing work. Although modern technology ensures that information processing and command issuance can be achieved even on the move, it is ultimately not fixed and stable.

Four days later, Sanfeng Mountain Base.

“Puff, puff, puff… woo…”

Ben, exhausted from the journey, parked his beloved motorcycle in the garage and turned off the engine.

"Hey, nice car!!"

If his wife and children rank first and second in Ben's heart, then this motorcycle, which is not simple both inside and out, should now be firmly in third place.

The streamlined body of this motorcycle is very consistent with Ben's aesthetic taste, and its seemingly rough but actually sophisticated structures can also impress a man, especially the materials of some key structures, which are mixed with a little bit of magic steel alloy that the US government has obtained by all means.

I also heard from a colleague about some of the inside stories. It is said that the United States has tried every possible means to obtain some magic steel alloy. Not only official negotiations were carried out, but also those officials who have personal connections with the Dawn members were asked to make efforts, from currying favor to coaxing and persuading, and finally the Dawn Association agreed to supply a small amount of magic steel, a scarce resource, to a certain extent.

Of course, the major scientific academies and scientific institutions in the United States have tried their best to study magic steel, but in the end they were unable to figure out the basic elements and synthesis principles of magic steel. In particular, it was incredible that the addition of magic steel alloys actually affected the energy efficiency of the engine, not to mention the exaggerated physical and chemical properties of the magic steel alloy itself.

After putting away the keys, Ben started walking towards the base cafeteria. On the way, some of the base personnel he saw were afraid to greet him, while others were reserved when greeting him. Ben was already used to this.

"Hey Fire Dragon, mission accomplished?"

An agent in a suit ran over from a distance and patted Ben on the shoulder.

“Squeak…”

A string of sparks flew out of his nostrils as Ben responded unhappily.

"We're halfway done. We tracked down a group of special demons, but due to some unexpected circumstances, none of them survived the capture."

I was already a little angry when I mentioned this matter. The sparks in my nostrils increased greatly, and the color they appeared also tended to be bluish-green. Just because of these sparks, the temperature around me could be clearly felt to rise.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire. The high temperature resistance of the main structure here can't withstand your breath. I still want to eat lunch."

Ben also realized his gaffe, suppressed his anger, and walked towards the cafeteria with this one of his few friends.

"Jin, what do you say here? Has there been any change in the overall situation recently? Does the Earth plan to send new reinforcements?"

Jin spread his hands.

"The energy consumed by traveling through the world is extremely exaggerated. Even with the power of the Dawn Association, it will take a while to recover. SO, for the time being, we can only rely on you."

The two had entered the cafeteria, which was not crowded. Jin pointed in a direction where a dozen officers were sitting.

"Look, those guys have lost a lot of hair during this period. Every day they are busy promoting a group of new officers to fill the vacancies based on their wartime performance, and at the same time formulating an effective officer support strategy."

Ben nodded.

"I've encountered this many times when I was on a mission outside. The demons would find a way to kill the soldiers they identified as human commanders, even if it meant paying a greater and more disproportionate price. I have to say, it's quite disgusting."

The two had already reached the ordering window. The external electronic touch screen displayed the various dishes currently on offer. Ben and Jin ordered a lot of dishes one after another, then received their meal orders and found an empty table nearby to sit down.

Next to the two of them, Nimit happened to be passing by carrying a large plate with a pile of food at least thirty to forty centimeters high on it. He was dragging it with one hand but was still able to keep the shaky pile of food from falling.

Jin and Ben nodded at him, and Nimit smiled and nodded in response, then found a seat in a very corner, put down the dinner plate, took out his cell phone and cigarette, and started eating.

"You know what, Ben, this Nimit is one of the few guys in the entire 19th Organization Department whose depth I can't tell. You are one of the earliest evolvers, and you are considered a top expert in the 19th Organization Department and even in the world. Can you tell me how big the gap is between me and that guy?"

Ben had already taken off the long collar that covered his face, revealing his mouth with slightly sharp teeth, which opened into a creepy grin.

"Hey, although I haven't fought with him or seen him take action, but if Nimit is serious about you, who thinks you are a master, you can probably hold on for a while..."

Ben took off his gloves and stretched out two fingers that seemed to be covered with fine keratin.

"No way, you mean I can only hold on for two minutes? But I..."

The curve of Ben's mouth became even more terrifying, and he shook his hand.

"NONONO, Jin, you misunderstood. It's two seconds. I bet you can't last more than two seconds! In fact, even I'm not sure if I can beat him."

Jin stared at Ben with his eyes wide open, and suddenly realized something.

"My goodness, you mean, it only takes you two seconds to defeat me?"

“Hahahaha… Jin, why do you care about these details? Besides, his and my abilities have different focuses. You may not be able to hold out for two seconds in his hands, but you may be able to hold out for more than ten seconds in mine.”

After a while, the electronic sound from the dining table reminded them to go and pick up their food. A large pile of food had already been placed at the window. It was no stranger for the chefs here to have one or two people order so much.

But when he opened the first burger, Ben's nose twitched and he frowned, then turned his head in one direction. In his peripheral vision, Nimit was still concentrating on eating, as if he didn't notice anything.

Jin subconsciously reached for his gun. His friend would not do such a thing for no reason. Even if the burger was spoiled, he would probably just eat it.

Ben looked serious and shook his head slightly at him, then pointed at the food in front of him. The latter understood, pretended not to feel anything, and began to concentrate on eating.

About two or three minutes later, Ben, who was stuffing food into his mouth, still couldn't smell any special smell, but he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He stood up immediately, only to find that his friend was still eating and browsing his phone.

"gold?"

"Ah? What's going on?"

Ben's eyes narrowed at this reaction, and Nimit in the corner of his eye was still eating.

“Squeak…”

Sparks flew out of his nostrils again.

At the same time.

Nimit smoked a lit cigarette and played with a saber in his hand. Although this knife was also very good, he still missed the magic steel weapons and magic steel hand cannons in the Silent Knights more.

“Hiss… Huh~~~”

He smoked half of the cigarette directly, and finished the remaining cigarette, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke after a while.

In Nimit's peripheral vision, everyone in the cafeteria was concentrating on eating, and the chefs were busy cooking. He deliberately glanced in the direction of "Fire Dragon" and Jin, and the two guys were still consuming food on the table and swiping their phones without noticing anything.

At the same time, Jin reached into his pocket with his left hand and grasped the gun handle, waiting for his friend's reminder, but he seemed not to notice anything unusual and continued to eat the food on the table.

After processing a batch of documents, Baru rubbed his forehead gently, closed his eyes and rested at his desk. He seemed unaware of some subtle changes that had taken place in the base.

He tapped the touch screen of the phone twice with his other hand. Two seconds later, a melodious piano piece started playing. It was one of his favorite songs - "To Alice".
